it was better than that in the past.
I have to jack up the volume on the speakers to the highest levels to
achieve normal sound level which leads to me hearing static and noise.
That is true for web videos as well as sound files playback on my
computer.
I made sure all the volume sliders are at the Max on the Windows
Volume Control box (including Wave). I checked the Control Panel-
Sound And Audio Devices Properties. Device volume and Speaker volumesare at High. Sound Playback is set to "SoundMAX Digial Audio" - the
only other option is Model Line Playback.
I have Dell Dimension 4550 with Windows XP (the comp is about 5 years
old)
Any thoughts?
When I have problems like that I might update the driver first. If
that doesn't work, I'd delete the driver and reinstall. Do so at your
own risk though.
Does it have a headphone jack? If so, how is the volume from that.
You could hook your speakers up to that if it works well, but that
would be a little kludgy.
Finally, Creative makes an external, USB sound card. I have one that
I am not using. It's a nice product that you might want to consider
if you can't fix your problem in another way.
